PopCapt - Print capture utility for Novell Netware

Purpose:

User printing, while simple for the LAN Administrator, can be a
quite complex task for end users. The Capture command provided
by Novell allows users to change print selections, however it
requires them to enter a very long command line to complete even
the slightest change. Printcon also provided by Novell offers no
real relief as users often become "lost" in this utility.

PopCapt provides a simple user interface to the print capture
functions. In test cases, users with no previous knowledge of
how the Capture command works were able to change print options
with minimal training. After one use of the program all were
able to select the desired print destination and/or revise other
capture options.

One other common print problem is the limitation of most
applications select and print to network printers. Programs such
as Word Perfect handle this task quite well while others don't
even bother to address the network printing issue. With most
networks having many printer types this lack of support becomes a
daily source of misdirected printing.

How many times have you been in the middle of one program and
found out your printer selection is not correct? If this has
happened to you then you will definitely be able to use the TSR
version of PopCapt. With the TSR version you will be able to
change print queues and other capture options when it is
convenient to you.
